ABSTRACT
Nonspecific membrane disruption is considered a plausible mechanism for the cytotoxicity induced by ß-amyloid (Aß) aggregates. In scenarios of high local Aß concentrations, a two-step membrane fragmentation model has been proposed. Initially, membrane-embedded Aß oligomeric aggregates form, followed by membrane fragmentation. However, the key molecular-level interactions between Aß oligomeric aggregates and lipids that drive the second-stage membrane fragmentation remain unclear. This study monitors the time-dependent changes in lipid dynamics and water accessibility of model liposomes during Aß-induced membrane fragmentation. Our results indicate that lipid dynamics on the nanosecond to microsecond time scale undergo rapid acceleration upon initial incubation with membrane-incorporated Aß oligomeric aggregates, followed by a slow deceleration process. Concurrently, lipid headgroups become less accessible to water. Both observations suggest a carpet-like mechanism of membrane disruption for the Aß-induced membrane fragmentation process.
